Dirty Disco

I tumbled down
And down into a new sound
I looked around
And all I saw was you, now
A perfect shade or hue, now
I feel my eyes correct, now
Progress into the foreground
Progress into a new sound!
We can go down to the Dirty Disco!
We can go down to the Dirty Disco!
And well, if you’re looking for a part of yourself
You should look into the heart of yourself
Know it better than anybody else
And maybe go down to the Dirty Disco
I looked within
And all I saw was new skin
The shape I’m in
Is just the shape I’m preppin’
It’s just a shade, I’m guessing
Just a delicatessen
Nobody’s left pretendin’
Nobody’s second guessin!
Nobody’s even home!
Due to the Dirty Disco!
We can go down to the Dirty Disco!
And well, if you’re looking for a part of yourself
you should look into the heart of yourself
Know it better than anybody else
And maybe go down to the Dirty Disco
We can go down to the Dirty Disco!
We can go down to the Dirty Disco!
And well, if you’re looking for a part of yourself
You should look into the heart of yourself
Know it better than anybody else
And maybe go down to the Dirty Disco

Speed of Might

When the boogie stops I go outside
Walk right through the cigarettes
Keep the politics right off my mind
Walk home so I don’t forget
Where do you find the time?
To take what’s yours and call it mine
You just can’t dig yourself out of this hole
And now that you’re learning why
If you stay here you’ll never thrive
I guess you’re really out here on your own
When the boogie starts I go back in
Push through the degenerates
Keep the rhythm down to deadly sin
I love when it’s hard to get
Where do you find the time?
To take what’s yours and call it mine
You just can’t dig yourself out of this hole
And now that you’re learning why
If you stay here you’ll never thrive
I guess I’m really out here on my own
Running at the speed of might

Whole Hot Summer
07:47

I came around at the end of spring
Already here, you were wandering
I was thinking, I got the word
I’ve got the word
I got the word it was going down
You got the word I was coming round
Now I’m thinking, who’s got the word
Who’s got the word
Everyone’s heard
But who’s got the word?
Tell me I didn’t wait for the whole hot summer
Just to feel that burn for the rest of my life
And tell me I didn’t stay for the whole hot summer
Just to feel that burn in the back of my mind
Cuz I can’t quite take another whole hot summer
Can’t feel that burn one more time
So tell me I didn’t wait for the whole hot summer
Just to feel that burn
Nobody knows that you’re on my mind
Something about you is so refined
Now they’re thinking, I’ve got the herd
I’ve got the herd
But this was the third time I told myself
That this wasn’t good for my mental health
And now I’m thinking I’ve got the word
I’ve got the word
But nobody’s heard
That I’ve got the word
Tell me I didn’t wait for the whole hot summer
Just to feel that burn for the rest of my life
Tell me I can’t stay for the whole hot summer
Just to feel that burn in the back of my mind
Cuz I can’t quite take another whole hot summer
Can’t feel that burn one more time
So tell me I didn’t wait for the whole hot summer
Just to feel that burn
You’d find a way to keep it on the edge
You’d find a way to put the thing to bed
You’d find a way to keep it in the end
You’d find a way to put the thing to bed
You’d find a way to keep it on the house
You’d find a way to turn the thing around
Cuz you found a way to keep it on the edge
You found a way to put the thing to bed
To put the thing to bed
You found a way to keep it on the edge
You found a way to put the thing to bed
You found a way to keep it in the end
You found a way to put the thing to bed
You found a way to keep it on the house
You found a way to turn the thing around
Cuz you found a way to keep it on the edge
You found a way to put the thing to bed

Miami 2

My friend, say goodbye
Cuz it’s time for you and me to die
I wish you’d come down and meet me, too
I’m stuck down here in Miami 2
Cuz I wanted to clear
Any sequel city from there to here
But that’s something that I couldn’t ever do
I think you should move to Miami 2
Stand up, look around
Water filled the streets of the older town
And now there’s nothing that a man can do
I’m stuck down here in Miami 2
I don’t wonder why
There’s no firecrackers in the sky
Cuz you’ve had your spirit taken from you
You died and now you’re Miami 2
I’ve seen the way the night changes
It can happen again
And I saw Miami 1 faded
No time to pretend
You know they’re onto our structure
It can happen in time
One poke and it could all rupture
Just ignore it, we’re fine
Good lord, take a breath
This place is a gravity hole for death
And that ain’t no place that I ever knew
I’m stuck in evil Miami 2
What’s left of my mind
Two days in a disco-laden find
But that’s not something that I’d say to you
Some things might stay in Miami 2
I’ve seen the way the night changes
It can happen again
And I saw Miami 1 faded
No time to pretend
You know they’re onto our structure
It can happen in time
One poke and it could all rupture
Just ignore it, we’re fine

You better be takin’ your smoke break
You better be takin’ your break
You better be takin’ your smoke break
You better be takin’ your break
I better see you back round here sometime ‘tween seven and eight
You better be comin’ right back here after you’ve taken your break
But it doesn’t really matter now
No it doesn’t really matter now
No it doesn’t matter
No it doesn’t matter
No it doesn’t matter now
You better be takin’ your smoke break
You better be takin’ your break
You better be takin’ your smoke break
You better be takin’ your break
I better see you back round here sometime ‘tween seven and eight
You better be comin’ right back here after you’ve taken your break
Smoke break
Goin' on a
Smoke break
But it doesn’t really matter now
No it doesn’t really matter now
No it doesn’t matter
No it doesn’t matter
No it doesn’t matter now
You better be takin’ your smoke break
You better be takin’ your break
You better be takin’ your smoke break
You better be takin’ your break
I better see you back round here sometime ‘tween seven and eight
You better be comin’ right back here after you’ve taken your break

Perseverance

Walk towards the light
No cause for fright
There’s something right beyond the clearance
Push through the night
With speed and might
Somebody’s changing their appearance
We’ll be alright
It’s nobody’s fight
We just need a little perseverance
Perseverance
I don’t wanna hear it
Don’t believe it
Perseverance
Got my tummy freakin’
Can’t relieve it
Perseverance
Now I know you’re reaching
Perseverance
Reaching for the ceiling
Perseverance
Not a perfect clearance
Short appearance
We’re gonna get there, get there
We’re gonna get there, get there
I got this thing inside my head
I think you maybe know about it
It keeps me up inside my bed
And I go on and on about it
Wake up to try and start my day
But I can’t stop thinking about it
I do not see another way
It's perseverance
Perseverance
Through the incoherence interference
Perseverance
Moxie reappearance
I’ve got this voice inside my head
It makes me feel so wrong about it
The only way to persevere
Is to become a god about it
The disco can not take your soul
It only moves to push the rhythm
Follow the four right on the floor
The cure is good old fashioned
Perseverance
Like no other feeling
I’m believing
Perseverance
Got my body peeling
Tense releasing
Perseverance
Now my body's freakin'
Perseverance
All my bones are creakin'
Perseverance
Everybody’s reaching for the ceiling
We’re gonna get there, get there
We're gonna get there, get there
We're gonna get there, get there
We're gonna get there, get there
